Description

Cover title: Repton on landscape-gardening and architecture

Reprint: first published 1803

Repton utilized material from his "Red Book" presentations prepared for clients and cites over 100 locations (p. [15]-16, preliminaries)

Many of the hand-colored plates have overslips to show proposed changes in the landscapes. Two plates are tinted. Portrait of the author engraved by W. Holl after a drawing by S. Shelley as frontispiece. Dated plates read 1802. Numerous drawings, engravings (vignettes) and diagrams within the text. Repton credits his son, J. A. Repton "for many valuable ornaments to this volume" and for his architectural expertise
